“This is the best convenient store I've been to. It's not as modern as a QT, but they have a variety of everything that you wouldn't get at a QT. The customer service is 10/10 as well!”
“Shout out to Manuel who prepared my Croissant lunch sandwich today, 10 mins ago! By far the best I've had, made to order and perfect. The presentation was great as well. The bacon just hanging over the Croissant, the Roast Beef over the lettuce and tomatoes, and the mayonnaise. And to David who was at the register and just answered my call in less than 2 rings. Great job guys! Thank you QT for lunch with less than 600 calories!”
“Super nice and helpful. GREAT customer service, after just a few visits I have found myself very acquainted with Joseph (cashier/store owner) I come here almost every time I need something and they always get me right.”
“They always have new products for customers to try. And the staff are always very friendly and helpful. Overall, have always had a great experience shopping here.”
“This store is American owned . It's a nice store , it's very clean . They have free air for your tires. The people that work here are very friendly . There is gas pumps available for gas.”
“Before being ready to pump a gas, I was asked about the car wash, looked around, and found this place during the day of the gray clouds.Next time, I may be there.”
“Beer Store #12 is hands down our favorite convenience store! We stop by all the time, and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. Rosa is the absolute best—she always greets us with a smile, remembers her customers, and goes out of her way to make everyone feel appreciated. It’s rare to find customer service like that these days. The store is always clean, well-stocked, and a pleasure to visit. Thank you, Rosa and the whole team, for always making our trips so enjoyable. We highly recommend Beer Store #12”
“Rukus is extremely professional, courteous, and literally has everything you could possibly need in stock. I thought the days were long gone when people would call you by name when you came into their business, I still know that there's some places and people that do that and Rukus. is one of them. They also has great prices on some of the stuff I've seen that it's even cheaper than Walmart, some of the candy and ice cream even the sodas and some dairy products are cheaper than Walmart. And don't forget about the lottery tickets I've won more from the scratch offs from Bedford mini Mart than any other place and I buy them from 7-Eleven and all kinds of other places and I've won the most at Bedford mini Mart. If it was possible to give more stars I would, and I don't give these stars away liberally.”
“Cash you are the man!! ?? thanks for serving the community for years here in Bedford. Great music all the time you walk in. Pretty decebt selection of beers and all kinds of stuff.”
“Nice little convenience store with a very good taqueria inside. The name is a bit of an overstatement. BUT...this is the only place I know where you can get a 12 oz can of beer that is on ice. You know, maybe I don't want 24/32 ounces. Try to find anything else. Here you can.”
“I LOVE this 7/11, all the guys are seriously amazing and the customer service is always above and beyond. They keep it very well stocked, and clean, and even when there is a long line they are fast and efficient. I have gone here pretty much every day for years now, and never once had a bad experience.”
“Very friendly staff and care about their customers. If you're a regular most employees will start to know you by name and even what you want without telling them. I like that about a business personally”
“Wow! Just had a cheese steak wrap at Ike's and it was fanTAStic...love me a mom & pop shop! As a native New Englander, I haven't had a cheesesteak this tasty since the last time I was home. My boys all had burgers and gobbled them up - super tasty and fresh hot fries too.”
“More friendly than usual. Relaxing spark a inscense and take your time . Bobs burgers kind of vibe. The boxed ones only and if the build doesn't smell like chemicals. The chemicals at left side of entry way are evaporating because of thermostat temperature is to hot. The chemical Atamosphere is a Environmental violation. Aswell a carcinogens in the form on non biodegradable cleaning product . The smoke sticks are covered in access detergents. Causing a k2 like effect on customers as well the employees my friends.”
“I had a complete flat. Needed $2 for the air machine. I had 75 cents and c/c machine was broke. The guy running the store gave me enough quarters to get it aired up. Angel when I needed one! Thank you thank you. I was able to make it to discount tire. Thanks again foe helping a stranger.”
“I go to HJH which is like a few minutes away from this store and I love going here sm the guy that works there is super nice i just wish they put the price tags on things”
“Without disputing the other reviews, I typically get fresh and hard to find items so there's not much of a chance for a surprise. They are indispensable for impossible to find Salvadorean items, like pito flowers (they had them frozen). I like being able to practice my Spanish there- you have to think ahead, know what you're doing and listen, because no quarter will be given. So, yeah, the service is more than a bit brusque, but if you don't cause problems they're nice-neutral. Prices are a bit pricey on items you can get elsewhere ($5 for a pound of Salvadorean red beans, $3 at Kroger). Bottom line, I'm glad they're here. They're a great resource when you want to make cocina centroamericana!”
“This 7-Eleven is one of the best I’ve been to! The staff is always super friendly, welcoming, and helpful the moment you walk in. You can tell they really care about their customers, which makes a big difference. The store itself is always spotless and well-organized, which I really appreciate compared to other convenience stores. They also have great deals and promotions that make grabbing snacks, drinks, or even a quick meal affordable. It’s my go-to stop anytime I need something on the go. Highly recommend this location!”
“I shop at several Walgreens locations, and while I’ve had good experiences at many of them, this one consistently stands out to me. The store is always very neat, clean, and well organized, and the beauty department in particular is always in excellent shape with current promotions clearly displayed and everything looking well maintained. What really makes this location special is the people and the management behind it. The associates are always pleasant, professional, and easy to work with, and you can tell the store is being run the right way by how well the shelves are stocked, how organized the merchandise is, and how often the tags are correctly placed. My online orders are also always completed quickly here, which says a lot about how dependable and efficient the team is. Overall, this is my favorite Walgreens in the area, and it reflects a store that is clearly managed with pride.”
“Thank you David for helping me out. All I had was change for gas, and had to be someplace very important. Thank you for taking all those Penny's and helping me get to where I needed to be. No other store would help me out. Really appreciate your kindness and understanding.”
“The guys at the station were great. I stopped to get fuel and got a bottled water. I asked for a cup of ice for my Camelback. They filled Camelback full of ice! Thanks!”
“Megan (Pharmacist) is amazing. Knows me by name and is always welcoming. Why put a review? Because she has always gone above and beyond to help me with cheaper medicine and working with my insurance. One of a kind. Thank you, Megan”
“There’s something to be said about someone who doesn’t NEED to be outwardly kind and encouraging but chooses to be that way anyways; Shelley (Night shift Pharmacist) was very kind and professional when dealing with a question regarding something medically sensitive. We could use more Shelley’s in the world.”
